118. Janna MacLean, Part 2: Understanding Implicit and Explicit Memories—Powerful Realities!

This week's episode is an exciting example of a topic I've discussed numerous times on this show: implicit and explicit memory—what these are, and how they work together to provide a powerful impact in finding out more about a survivors rape and sexual assault experiences…IF the person doing the interview is trauma informed and knows how to ask the right questions in the right ways. The resultant responses can provide more than a person doing the interview ever dreamed possible! Last week's guest, Janna MacLean, reached out to me just two days after her original episode recording to tell me that what I had warned her about, how talking about her rape and sexual assault experiences could and probably would activate implicit memories…memories she didn't know were even in her brain, had actually happened, and now she was realizing she'd left som much out of her original telling of her rape and sexual assault experiences. Janna asked if she could come back on the show to talk about this and make listeners aware of how real and how powerful this brain phenomena truly is. The answer was a no brainer for me…of course, yes, let's do this! And thank you for even having the courage, fortitude, and strength to want to do this! WoW! What a powerful episode this is! I can hardly wait for you to hear it! Thank you for being a SASS listener. Please subscribe to the show, then give it a five-star rating.

Which is what I hope to accomplish to help lessen the prevalence of rape and sexual assault, as well as the prevalence of rape culture that surrounds us all.
